As the sun peeped out, from time to time,
from between the lamb-like cloudlets
which the wind was herding across the heavens,
he, wandering alone, saw daffodils
nodding their yellow heads in a lake-side meadow.
In the background, throwing a great dark shadow,
an old oak tree in the meadow
listened to the gentle susurration
of the surrounding grass,
as the breeze played tag with each of its blades.
From the meadow he saw the wavelets in the lake
tossing their heads, and gently spraying the shore with white spume.
But it was the daffodils about which he wrote,
"Dorothy's daffodils' he called them
as they fluttered and danced in the breeze.
